Normally we wouldn’t bother writing a post about a drunken soccer brawl that happened over a year ago. However, this isn’t any drunken soccer brawl. This is a drunken soccer brawl involving a family of Man U hooligans and a “Where’s Waldo” themed bachelor party. At a train station. A man named John Eyre, 46, […]

The 2014 FIFA World Cup has been going on for two weeks now. You would have thought we’d have seen tons of soccer brawls by now, given how soccer fans like to get wasted and wail on each other. (They have that in common with Blue Jays fans, incidentally.) Nevertheless, as shocking as it may be, […]

Before we get started, a warning: the video you are about to watch may cause extreme happiness. At a recent Arizona State football game, there was some kind of disagreement in the student section between an older gentleman and a young Sun Devil frat bro. We don’t know what caused the disagreement. Perhaps the old […]

Apparently cheap shots are all the rage among belligerent NFL fans this season. A couple weeks ago we saw a brawl break out between some Cleveland Browns fans in the parking lot after the game, as a spate of trash-talking was capped by some dude punching another dude from behind, out of the blue. Now […]

We’ve already given you two football fan fights today. Why not go for the hat trick? Of course, it’s only a hat trick on a technicality. While the first two fights we saw were between fans of American football, the one we have for you now was between fans of that sport everyone else calls […]

The first great fan fight video of the college football season was kind of funny. The combatants were almost comically out of shape, and even the blows that were landed didn’t look all that painful. The first great fan fight of the NFL season is a different story. This one comes to us from a […]

Today we finally have for you our first fan fight of the college football season, and it is a good one. Or maybe I should say, the quality of the video is good. The person who shot it held their phone horizontally and got a good, clear look at the action. The fight itself? It’s […]

The United States national soccer team may not be feared by the world’s great soccer powers on the international stage, but their fans probably should be. They can definitely hold their own when it comes to the quintessential soccer fan activity: brawling. This past Sunday in Baltimore, where the USA was taking on El Salvador […]

At last year’s Home Run Derby in Kansas City, there was a pretty amazing fight up in the stands involving a number of fans who treated us to some very unorthodox kung fu kicks and punches. It would be a tough act to follow for fans at the 2013 Home Run Derby. However, you would […]

In general, you won’t see as many fan fights at NHL games as you do at, say, MLB or NFL games. Sure, there are exceptions, and fans are definitely more than willing to fight before and after games. But on the whole, contrary to what you might expect, fans are quite peaceful during the game. […]

This is just a casual observation from someone who writes about the subject often, but it seems to me that most fan fights go down either during the game, right there in the stands, or after the game, out in the parking lot. You rarely see fights between fans outside the venue before a game. […]

This year, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ most heated on-field rivals might just be the San Diego Padres, given the way the Padres’ Carlos Quentin broke Zack Greinke’s collarbone and all. However, for Dodgers fans, there’s no question that the San Francisco Giants are still enemy number one. And despite that tragic beating outside Dodger Stadium […]

The poor Kobe-less Lakers were completely outclassed by the San Antonio Spurs during Round 1 of the 2013 NBA Playoffs. Tony Parker and company swept L.A. right out of the playoffs in four straight games, outscoring them by a whopping 75 points. Now coach Mike D’Antoni will have the whole offseason to ponder what life […]

The super welterweight championship bout between Canelo Alvarez and Austin Trout at the Alamodome in San Antonio this past Saturday had a pretty interesting storyline. Alvarez already held the WBC title and he was looking to win the WBA title as well—a title that his own brother, Rigoberto Alvarez, lost to Trout back in 2011. […]

We’re pretty accustomed to seeing soccer fans brawl and riot before, during and after significant matches. And since few matches are as significant to fans as a derby match–i.e., a match between a heated intercity or regional rival—these matches often surpass all others in fan violence. We saw this last week in Newcastle, England, where […]
